Hello everyone,
Most of you would know me from Cafe and all the other forum but this is my kinda first time posting in religion forum so i hope i get a proper response with evidence rather then guessing game…
So i wanted to know if in islam a girl (single) is allowed to live by herself? I mean can a girl rent a apartment and live all by herself without any family member or mehram being with her?
Thanks in advance for all the replies..
Re: A quick question...
quick answer ! Yes.
But it is better to live with a group of girls / women ( if possible), for obvious reasons i.e safety.
btw, it is not your first time posting here :p

yes, code is keeping a record of all the girls .. he cannnot be wrong
Re: A quick question…
^ he is right, we keep track of everyone. We also issue reciepts if required.
Princess Fiona , Since you sought a quick answer, so it was provided. if you need detailed answer with evidence and reasoning duly signed by a religious authority i.e yours truly, then you must help in a greater casue by contributing in religion forum maintence fund. Its been ten year since it was last painted, walls need repair, few light are not working and members are demanding for long time that we should have a water dispenser.
The list is long but i hope with the help of generous people like you we will be able to meet all challenges 
Re: A quick question...
i don't think there is be any problem with that. but as code red said its better if u share with a a roomate or two.
Re: A quick question...
A quick answer yes.
The detail answer:
There has been restrictions on travel of women with a mehram or a Group which came from ahadees.
There is not ruling againt women living alone in ahadees. I am sure in those days there were women who lived alone.
Re: A quick question…
A woman who is not married is legally (Islamically) under the care of her parents, specifically the father. The brother of a woman is responsible for her if her father is not alive.
A woman who lives alone will need to travel alone too.
I guess one needs to determine how far she is from her mahram, if she has no brother or father and is unmarried then may be her familiar environment. There are concessions for women who can travel without mahram as long as it is within their vicinity of the home, i.e. (a few miles radius from what I remember).
However, it will be very much not advisable to live by oneself I don’t think it is forbidden according to Islamic law.
Islam encourages marriage and socialisation to spread good. It discourages socialisation with evil people. It encourages living close to family members rather than further away. It discourages people to be by themselves because when people are alone whether they are female or male then the Shaitan can distract them more easily.
“The believers, men and women, are protectors, one of another. They enjoin what is just and forbid what is evil. They observe regular prayers, pay zakat, and obey ALLAH and His Messenger. On them ALLAH will pour His mercy: for ALLAH is exalted in power, wise.”
Holy Qur’an 9:71
We need people around us of good nature to keep us good. Keeping bad company is obviously wrong, but to keep no company is the same as keeping the company of Shaitan.
We will lose in barakah also. To be alone for anyone is loss of companionship is loss of another perspective is loss of mutual sharing of values and advice.
People who live by themselves can develop psychoses also, especially if it done for a long time.
The very basic issues that develop first are bad habits and intolerance to another way, i.e. loss of patience with others.
This is not just for women but for men also. To draw a distinction between men and women in such an issue is not right.

Here is a promotional angle to living alone in America …
As you will notice most of the great reasons to live alone are either unIslamic or lead to unIslamic activity. Notice there are clear warning between the lines in this article too.

Re: A quick question...
NaMaan and PF
simple..you are earthling and not plutonian cuz you should live, share, express, absorb views ideas emotions of urz and others, with the people in ur surrounding.
second our parents needs us, and we need them....i dont know any hadith but i read somewhere "bringing a smile on ur parents face is a sadqa"
third you only leave ur parents when you believe that you do have energy to live on ur own, but at the same time your parents are also getting old. they wont gonna say to you anything (as they are egoistic) but still they need u (even if u are married, doesn't matter whether u r gal or guy)
the sooner we realize that Huqooq-ul-bad comes befores Huqooq-ul-ALLAH the better it will be for our soul (searching curiously where this endless journey will take it too)
